Columbus Dispatch praised Sonic Temple’s “cross-generational lineup that emphasized the musical diversity that is a hallmark of the festival.”

“We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s Sonic Temple was the most attended in its history, drawing over 130,000 fans to the Historic Crew Stadium—the birthplace of rock festivals in America. With 96% of attendees eager to recommend the festival to friends and family, it’s clear we’ve hit a high note,” says Chamie McCurry, General Manager of DWP. “As we look toward Sonic Temple 2025, we’re committed to elevating the experience, further cementing its status as the Pinnacle of Rock Festivals in America.”

Welcome To Rockville is confirmed for May 15-18, 2025 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. The 2024 festival was the biggest and best Rockville ever, hosting more than 200,000 people and 150 bands on 5 stages for the first time, retaining its title as North America’s Largest Rock Festival. This year, Welcome To Rockville – which transforms the World Center Of Racing into the World Center Of Rock – also broke records to become the largest event ever for DWP – and 2025 promises to be even bigger and better.

CBS12 in West Palm Beach, Florida proclaimed, “Welcome To Rockville continues to cement its status as one of the largest and most iconic rock festivals in the world.”

This monumental achievement showcases the unwavering passion and energy of the rock community. Looking ahead, we’re excited to invite everyone to join us again at the World Center of Rock for Welcome To Rockville 2025.
